NHS figures show vasectomies are down 63% in a decade The number of men having vasectomies has fallen by two thirds in 10 years, NHS figures show.
Experts say more men are choosing to preserve their fertility to have children later in life, particularly if their marriage breaks down.
The procedure is also being rationed by some NHS trusts and GPs in certain areas have been ordered to cap the number of referrals.
Figures from NHS Digital show that just 10,880 vasectomies were performed in 2015/16, down from 29,344 in 2005/6.
The biggest drop occurred between 2005/6 and 2014/15, and since then the reduction has started to stabilise slightly. The Daily Mail
